SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES I. Background In the Federal Register of March 23, 2011 (76 FR 16425), FDA made available a draft guidance entitled ‘‘Testing for Salmonella Species in Human Foods and Direct-HumanContact Animal Foods’’ and gave interested parties an opportunity to submit comments by June 21, 2011. The Agency reviewed and evaluated these comments and has modified the guidance where appropriate. This guidance is intended for firms that manufacture, process, pack, or hold human foods or direct-human-contact animal foods intended for distribution to consumers, institutions, or food processors. The guidance does not apply to egg producers and other persons who are covered by FDA’s final rule ‘‘Prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs During Production, Storage, and Transportation’’ (21 CFR part 118; the shell egg final rule). The guidance addresses testing procedures for Salmonella spp. in human foods (except shell eggs) and direct-human-contact animal foods, and the interpretation of test results, when the presence of Salmonella spp. in the food may render the food injurious to human health. FDA issued separate guidances in December 2011 and July 2011, respectively, entitled ‘‘Guidance for Industry: Prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs During Production, Storage and Transportation,’’ which provides guidance to egg producers on how to comply with certain provisions contained in the shell egg final rule, including provisions for environmental and egg testing for Salmonella Enteritidis; and ‘‘Draft Guidance for Industry: Questions and Answers Regarding the Final Rule, Prevention of Salmonella Enteritidis in Shell Eggs During Production, Storage, and Transportation,’’ which responds to questions FDA has received on the shell VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:20 Mar 07, 2012 Jkt 226001 14023 egg final rule since its publication and includes guidance on environmental and egg testing for Salmonella Enteritidis. Dated: March 1, 2012. Jennifer S. Spaeth, Director, Office of Federal Advisory Committee Policy II. Significance of Guidance The final guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the Agency’s current thinking on testing for Salmonella spp. in human foods and direct-human-contact animal foods. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternate approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. [FR Doc. 2012–5683 Filed 3–7–12; 8:45 am] III.

It is only necessary to send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document.
